Polar M600 – Stylish Android Wear for Fitness Enthusiasts?

The guys at Polar have set out a new path: A fitness watch with Android Wear – combining both fitness tracker and stylish smartwatch into one single product – the new M600. They basically stepped it up again from their already great M400 (read our Review), in order to set a new industry standard for smartwatches.
